1995 PAY PLAN -PRESENTATION.
Tom Haller/Lee and Burgess presented an executive summary of the
1995 Pay Plan.Comparisons were made with the following:

Front Range —Loveland,Fort Collins,Longmont,Lafayette,
Greeley,Louisville,Brighton,Larimer and Weld Counties
Other Municipally-Owned Electric Systems —Fountain,LaJunta,
Fort Morgan and Lamar
Thirty—seven different positions were compared and trend lines
indicate that overall,the Town is competitive with the market.
Concerning the benefit package,the Town is slightly above the
market surveyed.
The study identified certain positions in the Police Department
that should be adjusted as they are below the market,and certain
positions in the Light &Power Department that should be adjusted
as they are above the market.Additional research will be
performed on the Light &Power positions and actual findings will
be presented directly to the Light and Power Committee.
The firm has also prepared a new performance evaluation form;
however,due to time constraints and necessary training,the firm
suggests implementation take place in the near future.
The Town Board must decide:
Pay Range Adjustments
1.If there will be any pay range increases;
2.If the pay plan should remain at the same level as
previous years,increasing approximately 3%;or
3.To slow down the rate of growth for the pay ranges to 1½-
2%.
Merit/Market Increases
1.Whether or not an increase in the merit/market relative
to the pay range should be granted;
2.Whether or not there should be a market increase;or
3.If there would be no merit increases across the board.

The firm is recoitunending a 2%pay range increase which will slow
down the rate of growth.
Staff presented the following for consideration:
1.Increase all pay ranges 2%.
2.Grant all employees,except department heads,a 2%market
adjustment to their base salary.
3.Grant all employees,except department heads,a 1%team
merit award,as a recognition of a very successful year
for the Town.This merit award will not be an addition
to the base salary.
4.Establish a 3%merit pool for department heads.Any
merit increase awarded would include a maximum 2%on base
salary,and the remainder as a merit adjustment which
would not be added to the base salary.
5.Adjust the grades for individual positions up or down,in
accordance with the recommendations of the Pay Review.
The net effect of these regrades would be a 0.7%increase
to the entire payroll.
6.Complete and implement a new performance evaluation
system in the fall of 1995.
Based upon the above six items,the total payroll increase is 3.7%.
The 1995 Budget included 3.5%for salary adjustments and the
additional 0.2%would be expended from the Contingency Fund.
Following additional clarification,the Committee recommends Items
1-6 as presented by staff be approved.It is further understood
that the findings from the research for Light &Power Department
positions will lie presented directly to the Light and Power
Committee for further discussion.
There being no further business,Chairman Dannels adjourned the
meeting at 8:45 A.M.
